Safely backing your vehicle requires all of the following, except:

Backing up is always dangerous because it is hard to see behind your vehicle. Prior to entering your vehicle, check your surroundings to be aware of any potential hazards. When you are backing out of a parking space, look over your shoulder to maintain awareness of your surroundings.

• Looking over your right shoulder as you back up.
• Checking your vehicle's surroundings.
• Tapping your horn before you back up.
